FATAL EXPLOSION.
Two Men Killed and Several Injured by a
Boiler Explosion at Sharpsburg, Pa.

Two Men Killed and Several Injured by q
Boiler Explosion at Sharpsburg, Pa.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. 4-One of the
boilers at Spang's Iron mill at Sharps-
burg, six miles from this city, exploded at
five o'clock this morning, instantly killing
the fireman, James Patterson, fatally
burning an unknown tramp who was
sleeping in the boiler room, and seriously
injuring six mill employees who had just
arrived to begin their days work A
portion of the boiler was thrown over two
hundred feet The entire end of the mill
was blown out, and the building so shat
tered that it will probably fall. The
cause of the explosion is being investi-
gated. Another employe was badly
burned in shutting off the natural gas with
which the mill was supplied. Had the ac-
cident occurred few moments later the
loss of life would have been terrible, as
all the employees would have then been at
work.
Later investigation at the scene of the
terrible explosion at Spang, Chalfant &
CO.. iron mill at Sharpsburg discloses the
fact that an entire battery of four huge
steel boilers had been blown to atoms
and scattered to almost incredible dis
tances. The structure is badly wrecked
and will have tobe rebuilt.
The following is the list of killed and
wounded:
Thos. Patterson, fireman; killed in.
stantly
VIM. Corville, the tramp who was sleep
ing in the boiler house; died on the way
to the hospital.
Andrew Rice, mill boy; badly cut about
the head.
J. Evans, roller; foot crushed.
Jas. Phillips, helper: knee broken.
Griffith Humphries; spine injured.
Thos. Protherow, stoker; foot crushed
BARLEY Naughton, helper; cut in head
and spine injured.
Lewis Clouse, watchman; head cut.
Jno. Williams, puddler; hand injured
Fireman Patterson leaves wife and
several children. Corville was unmarried.
The hrm estimates its loss at $4,000.

A Thrilling Ride.

The Marysville Democrat says: AS the
Downieville stage wss going down the
Mountain House grade several days ago
the eight passengers on board had an ex-
perience long to be remembered. The reins
attached to the horses were scorched at the
Camptonville fire; bat were considered safe
In going down the steep grade. which is six
miles long, the rein to one of the wheel
horses broke. A passenger on the front
seat with the driver, Walter Finchely, be-
came excited and made grab for the lines
This started the horses on a dead run down
the grade, and the d river having lost con-
troll of the animals, knew that something
must be done very quickly. He glanced
down the road some distance, and saw
John Yore and family, of Downieville,
coming up the bill in light wagon. At
this critical moment Finchely whipped out
his revolver, and Was just in the act of
shooting down one of his wheelers,"
when he spied stump on the side of the
road just ahead. Holding his pistol ready
for use in case of necessity, he turned the
leaders in direct line with the stump.
The head horses plunged over the stump,
but one of the rear horses ran square into
it, tearing his breast open, but bringing the
outfit to a standsiill, and throwing the
driver to the ground. Fortunately bat little
damage was done.
